The other side suddenly became silent.

Li Yue said it casually, but he didn't expect it to be right.

After less than ten breaths of silence, the soldiers on the opposite side retreated back to the camp.

Wei Shan scolded: "Zhang Yu is such a shy turtle. He has been hiding behind the soldiers and refused to show his face!"

Li Yue looked at the distance on both sides. Two hundred and fifty steps up, even a catapult might not be able to reach it, let alone a bow and arrow.

"What does Zhang Yu mean by this?" Zheng Hui asked puzzledly.

After being scolded, I retreated in despair.

Li Yuedao: "It should be that he succeeded in his plan!"

Han Xu made a sad face, "The Huns are more cruel than Zhang Yu. If they go south, I'm afraid it will be another disaster."

Jingxian County is adjacent to the Black Cloud Mountain. When Liu Guo's army enters the country, they must first pass through Han Xu's territory.

Li Yue thought about it carefully for a while. Heiyun Mountain has long been built into Tietong, and the defense is tighter than before. As long as Liu Guo is not stupid, he will not put all his money into it. Fighting Heiyun Mountain will not do much good for him, but if he loses

, the disadvantages would be too great.

After taking back Gong County, it has blocked the tentacles of Heiyun Mountain from penetrating into Luochuan.

Of course, Liu Guo could also not attack Heiyun Mountain, but drive straight in and attack the Jishui defense line southward.

Totally trapped here.

However, if this is the case, Li Yue will directly abandon Jishui Castle and retreat westward into Xuanyuan Mountain to preserve his strength.

As long as Heiyun Mountain does not lose, there is always a chance for a comeback.

A city is gained and then lost, and it is common for a city to be lost and found again.

Li Yue said: "Don't worry, the Huns are really going south. People from Jingxian County have moved to Heiyun Mountain. We have our scouts in Luochuan. Once the Huns set off, news will come."

Han Xu's face looks better now.

Zheng Huidao said: "It has been almost a month since the battle in Mishui. When the battle is over quickly and the clan leader receives the news from Yecheng, there will be drastic changes in Hebei! It is not suitable to be dragged here."

"Oh?" Li Yue looked at Zheng Hui.

This is the energy of the great gentry.

Shi Le and Shi Hu were killed by many ministers and officials, and those who were promoted to the imperial court were Pei Xian of Hedong, Shi Pu of Bohai, Zheng Xi of Xingyang, Xunchuo of Yingchuan, Fu Chang, Liu Qun, and Cui Yue of Beidi.

, Lu Chen and more than ten people.

The Zheng family has considerable power in Yecheng, so what they see, hear, and think about is naturally more than ordinary people.

Not to mention that Li Yue stayed on the mountain and had a dark eye on the situation in Yecheng.

The value of the Zheng family lies in this.

Li Yue doesn't care about their land, population, money and food, but he desperately needs information channels.

War is a continuation of politics. If Heiyun Mountain wants to develop, it must not only stick to the south, but also look to the north. An opportunity can often be found in the cracks.

"In this case, defeat Zhang Yu immediately, attack Xuchang in one go, and capture Yuzhou!" Wei Shan said extremely excitedly.

This is also the idea of ​​most generals in Heiyun Mountain.

The eyes of the people around them all lit up. Zheng Hui and Du Fan looked at Li Yue with interest.

Li Yue's ambition is also burning.

The defense of Heiyun Mountain is indeed good, but there is not much room for development. Four or five thousand people is almost the limit.

The civil strife in Jie and Zhao is indeed an opportunity.

Going south or north will determine the future development direction of Heiyun Mountain. It is no exaggeration to say that the geographical situation determines life and death.

But as soon as his ambition arose, he was forcibly suppressed by Li Yue.

The Central Plains is a land of hundreds of battles. Xuchang is sandwiched between Huanwen, Jiangdong, and Jiezhao. If Jiezhao is in chaos, Jiangdong will definitely launch a northern expedition. At that time, Xuchang will be the first to bear the brunt and will be squeezed by Xiangyang and Jiangdong. It will be trapped between Huanwen and Wang Xiexunyin.

Amid the internal strife, the situation is even worse than it is now, with no chance for development at all.

The gentry in Jiangdong are more disgusting and more difficult to deal with than the barbarians in the north.

To a certain extent, Huan Wen in history was dragged to death by the Jiangdong gentry.

Li Yue has offended the Xie family, which is equivalent to offending the Jiangdong gentry. When the time comes for the Northern Expedition, he will be the first to be killed...

In addition, even if you can defeat Zhang Yu in the south bank in one go, can you guarantee that you will swallow up the entire Yuzhou?

Mi County, Xuchang, Yangzhai, Runan, Changshe, Yingyin, and Xiangcheng in the south are all important towns.

If Zhang Yu defends any one, the Xie family's reinforcements will come in a steady stream. How long will it take for his four to five thousand troops?

"Our army only has 5,000 soldiers at best. Zhang Yu is cautious in using his troops. Although his morale has dropped, his people's hearts have not been lost. We cannot fight with him!" From Li Yue's perspective, the time for Heiyun Mountain has not come yet, unless the Zheng family does not care about the cost.

Support yourself.

But it's unlikely. The two parties haven't become so close yet.

Zhang Yu was very disciplined in his battles. He only knew how to push forward and used his troops extremely cautiously. He would not win a big victory or lose a big defeat.

This is also where he is difficult to deal with.

"This subordinate just has a temporary temper and doesn't hesitate to speak." The heat in Wei Shan's eyes slowly faded away.

Heiyun Mountain does not have the strength to annex Yuzhou, not to mention that there are Jiangdong forces involved behind Yuzhou.

Zheng Hui and Du Fan looked gentler on their faces.

"Since the north is about to change, this battle cannot be delayed any longer." Li Yue vaguely felt that the opportunity for Heiyun Mountain lies in the north and not in the south.

The south side is a mess, and you get tangled up as soon as you enter.

"I am willing to listen to the command of the village master!"

Zheng Hui, Han Xu, Du Fan, Wei Shan, Liang Xiao and other generals gave up their power one after another.

The one who has the same desire, both above and below, wins.

It is in everyone’s interest to repel Zhang Yu!

The next day, as the autumn sun just emerged from the horizon, war drums roared in the north of Lishui River, and hundreds of blood-red flags waved.

Thousands of thieves were making noises on the shore, and their long knives kept hitting their shields, making a huge roar.

"Capture Zhang Yu alive, conquer Xuchang, and annex Yuzhou!" the soldiers shouted hysterically.

The huge noise made the defenders on the south bank unable to sit still.

Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked at the north bank, and couldn't help but frown. The ambition of these thieves was so great. They actually wanted to swallow up the entire Yuzhou...

"There is no need for the troops to panic. The thieves are just bluffing. They cannot cross the river. Each unit is guarding the camp. Don't pay attention to it."

After fighting so many times, Zhang Yu also figured out the path to Heiyun Mountain, full of illusions, realities, and many tricks.

But as long as they hold on to their camp, the enemy will have no chance, and a counterattack at this time is not a good opportunity for them.

"Your Majesty has an order, hold the camp tightly and ignore it!" The soldiers who ordered the order galloped forward on their horses in the camp.

Zhang Yu also turned around and returned to the camp, preparing to catch up on another sleep. As soon as he turned around, he heard a roar like thunder from the west. Looking around, he saw smoke and dust billowing, as if there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

The west side naturally comes from Xuanyuan Mountain.

The upper reaches of the Jishui River are controlled by the thieves of Black Cloud Mountain, and the geographical location is in their hands.

"The imaginary is real, and the real is imaginary. The black cloud thief has always been cunning and fierce, so you must be on guard!" Xie Su shook his tail.

These words instantly reminded Zhang Yu of the defeat of Xuanyuan Mountain that day.

The thief will either not fight or be killed with one blow!

Under the psychological disadvantage, Zhang Yu began to doubt his own judgment. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Order the three thousand soldiers of the right camp to fight the enemy to the west!"

The messengers rode away, and the scouts came back on horseback, "Reporting to the envoy, a cavalry of about two thousand people crossed the river from the lower reaches and outflanked our army's flanks and rear!"

"You're talking nonsense, how can the Black Cloud Mountain bandits have two thousand cavalry?" Xie Su opened his eyes wide.

Two thousand cavalry are enough to change the battlefield situation.

Even Zhang Yu had less than two thousand cavalry.

The scout said: "There are indeed two thousand riders, half of which are donkeys and mules..."

Xie Su wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate.

But Zhang Yu couldn't laugh. The advantage of the cavalry was not to charge into battle, but to maneuver. When it came to a real battle, the donkey and mule cavalry could run rampant regardless of the cost.

Zhang Yu’s eyebrows knitted together.
